Arrow Video in the UK recently announced their October releases. They will be releasing Blu-rays of The Fury, Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, and Night of the Hunter. They will also put out an Arrowdrome DVD of Pin and an exclusive steelbook version of The Beyond.

If you pre-order these titles via Arrow's site before August 12th you will get them at special sale prices. I made sure to order TCM 2 since it was 40% off. They also have all of their 2013 releases for sale through the 12th as well. You can see a list of sale titles here

Why strange? They're different region releases. The Criterion Blu-ray was "A" locked anyway, so most people overseas were out of luck unless they were all-region capable.

Yeah. Sometimes Arrow and Criterion overlap in their releases for their respective regions. With Blow Out they each had enough unique extras that I bought both. With Night of the Hunter, Arrow has the same amazing doc that Criterion does, but loses most everything else. I'll just hang onto my Criterion for that one.
